Wanted to watch something similar to Bakemonogatari and was recommended this. Its a lot more random than Bakemonogatari at this stage for sure.

Love the animation and artstyle.
The openings and ending are great.
It's practically Bakemonogatari with worse source material.

I don't like random comedy animes.

I did laugh two or three times though so hopefully it won't be a torturous experience.

Oh lol from the start I already knew this show was going to be good xD This definitely reminded me a lot of Zetsubou Sensei of course not only by the voice actor but just the similarities in random ness xD

Another show that seems to be highly influenced by psychedelic drugs which is animated by Shaft. Who would've thought?






That's the reason why I love Shaft.

What a long OP song. It's a seinen romcom so yeah, this is going to be definitely good.

Nino is awesome. I love her.

"Do people of this planet save each because they want something in return?" Man that was deep and it struck through my heart.

LMAO this anime is awesome. I am so glad that I picked this out. 10/10

After being introduced like that,It was pretty obvious that Kou was going to end up owing someone which goes against his family motto lol.That scene where Kou's father was all dressed u like a baby and Kou having to pay him back for taking care of was too funny!
The animation style definitely reminds me of Bakemonogatari with those unusual camera angles.
The cast so far seems kinda crazy but kinda funny though XD.LOL at Kou for playig along with everyone despite them seeming so crazy.

Hey Guys i need a little help.
I search this quotes
"First, we are born in the same galaxy. Born of the same spe­cies. Our life­times over­lap. The meet­ings between humans are so unlikely as to be mira­cu­lous. To laugh, to cry, and to fall in love. Every­one is made up of a col­lec­tion of 1% chances. Thus, I am dazzled by the fact that there are so many mir­acles in this world."

But i dont know what episode it was pls Captain save me.<3 thy and sry the off

I don't usually drop series but I am really not a fan of random shows and the humor portrayed just didn't do much for me. I didn't like another SHAFT show "Natsu no Arashi!" which was also quite random. I will give them props for the art, very solid.

I might give this another chance later if my PTW list gets smaller but who knows when that'll be!

I wasn't going to watch this anime now at all. I didn't think about it one bit. It's just that I received the order to watch it when I was between this world and the next. It was the best order ever.
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you!

within the first five mins i knew this was shaft

it's okay so far, probably one of the weirdest anime i've seen yet. i didn't find it very funny, it felt a bit random but this is only episode one so maybe it'll improve.

Interesting premise+ Shaft directing and decent comedy,not a bad start.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Honestly I don't even know what to make of this.

Not really my comedy. The visuals are nice, yes yes very Shaft but also just out of control every other frame.

I can probably foresee this being so much more comedy based then anything with romance or development but we'll see . . . .

MC just gives wayyyyyy to much Araragi vibes, probably because they're both voiced by Hiroshi Kamiya and animated by Shaft.

Oh, I didn't expect Shaft to produce another anime this year after Dance in the Vampire Bund.

I like it. The comedy is really funny for the most of the episode.
